For All the Perpetually Half-Asleep Kids Like Me
you,
with the brushed up, curled up, chopped up, styled up, dyed up hair
you with the piercings in many places
you with the tattoos and torn up clothes
you who hide your true face with makeup out of habit
you who strain your body for six pack abs
you and all have to admit
we’re all more than naked
behind our costumes
because you’re our future past and present
let’s hope you know what you’re doing
